Do you own a Guitar?

[The Legend]

Well...Do ya's? If so, what make/model/vintage?

Mine is an Ibanez S470. Its black, produced in 2004, and has the most wicked Tremolo system I think I've ever encountered. Very easy to play very easy on the eye.

Please feel free to talk about Basses as well.

I also have an Ibanez 4 string. Bought it 2nd hand so I don't know much about it other than its wicked to play and has some really sexy active pickups.

A Music store near us had their annual stock clearance recently. Some pretty good deals for Washburn Acoustic and Electric series. I was seriously tempted by one of the Washburn acoustics (1/2 price). How do you find yours to play?

BTW, did you know that Cort manufacture alot of the guitars going around (Washburn/Ibanez et al)? Cort are a very good brand. They used to be regarded as fairly hokey.

It plays alright but in all honesty I'm not knowledgeable enough to give a well informed opinion. I rarely play anymore and as I prefer the electric I've pick up the accoustic maybe 2 times in the last 7 years. (Whereas the electric I've picked up maybe 5 times!)

Have been told that. Good to have it confirmed as I used to think Cort were pretty crap. I've only had this one for about 3 years. Bought it new.

ESP LTD KH-202, one of the Kirk Hammett signature models. I named it Stacey. Also have an Epiphone LP-100.

How do you find your ESP? They're pretty sensational guitars imo. A Bloke I jam with has an ESP Horizon w' licensed Floyd Rose tremolo. Very ace guitar. Love ESP.

Fender Squire, cheap but only use it for mucking around with. I also have a Fender Jazz bass... quite a sexy axe. I'm left-handed so it's really hard to find guitars, especially in stock. Also have a bass amp (Hartke head, 350 watts and Ampeg speakers 4x10 inch) though the head is a little noisy. Oh, have many pedals too... Jim Dunlop bass wah and Boss pedals (tuner, distortion and phaser with expression pedal).

If I had money to burn I'd consider buying better Fenders and a five string spector bass. The way I actually saved for my Fender Jazz bass was by putting all my gold coins in a tin... I even paid with the coins.

That ESP guitar is sweet as, I am jealous.
Is that his Flying V one?

I own a Epiphone Les Paul standard which has done the job for me very well since I have had it.

Also have a Gibson Les Paul which is a quality guitar and old Samick cheap arse guitar which I only use to thrash around with basically.

Not a guitar but on Monday I will be picking up my new amp, Fender Hot Rod deluxe which I am very fond off.

Yeah it's awesome. I haven't touched my Epiphone since I got Stacey. Has a really nice clean sound. I don't really know too much about the specifications - I just like to play.

Na it's the RG shaped one.

 

[patsmith]

Hmmm, I have five at last count (including a bass).

1) Martin Dreadnaught (can't remember exact model). Got it for $3000 about five years ago, probably worth $4500 now.

2) Kasuga classical guitar (nylon strings). About 30 years old now, sounds beautiful, a few dings though, as you'd expect.

3) Antonio Morales classical guitar. Bought this in Grenada, Spain about six months ago, and carried it around Europe for a while. Absolutely incredible, custom made by one of the best luthiers (guitar makers) in Spain, with an awesome sound, great harmonics and a brilliant cutout. My pride and joy.

4) Fender Stratocaster. Just your standard issue Strat. Use a 80W Marshall combo amp (hopefully getting a better stack soon), with Boss pedals.

5) Yamaha Bass. Just an el cheapo red bass which I got just to say I had one in my collection.

How many guitarists does it take to change a lightbulb?

11. 1 to do it, 10 to stand back and say that they could do it better, faster and would look cooler doing it.

Carry on.

And no, i dont own a guitar. Would love to own a sunburst design Les Paul one day, just like Ace's. Love those guitars.

 

[bunsen burner]

I wouldn't mind a Gibson Flying V.

 

[Darky]

Own a cheap arse bass, and a cheap arse guitar, and a cheap arse amp. Obviously looking to upgrade at some stage. But I'm only a hobby player for now, so it's not a huge priority as long as it's all in working order. I get just as many kicks listening to music as I do playing it, so to me the equipment isn't paramount.

 

[Mr Eagle]

I have a genuine Samick knock-off of an Epiphone G400...

LOL. And I'm tipping that it behaves exactly as described. I used to own a Samick bass. The neck often felt like you were handling razor blades. It saw me through alot of gigs though.

 

[bunsen burner]

Yes, I've owned a $149 dollar Sammick guitar before.

 

[gPhonque]

I've got 6.

Fender Strat (I use this mostly)
Fender Tele (I'd use this but it desperately needs to see a doctor)
Gibson Les Paul
Ibanez Les Paul (old 70s copy that actually sounds and plays better than my Gibson)
Squire P Bass (blah)
Ovation acoustic (more blah, although it's lovely for some things)

I think that's all? I can't remember....I've got so much stuff lying around at other peoples houses, or stuff that I've lost track of completely...


Need to get:


Gibson Flying V (nice original one if I can find one without taking a 2nd mortgage!)
Another Tele (I like em)
Another Les Paul (I like em too)
A nice Martin acoustic
Fender P Bass (70s preferably)
Fender Jazz Bass (as above)

Need to get a 5-string bass too, although I've not really looked around for one, so I'm not sure what I want....maybe a Musicman of some kind....it's last on my list anyway...

Amps...I use the same Fender Twin that I've had since I was 15 live (and occasionally in the studio) and I have a little old 70s Fender Champ that I picked up in LA a few years ago....awesome little studio amp!

Desperately need to get a Marshall....have so for years, just haven't gotten around to it....can't decide between a JCM800 and an early 70s JMP....probably go for the JMP, but then I'll still need a JCM800 too....


Let's not start on synths and recording gear!

I wouldn't mind a Gibson Flying V.

That's quite possibly the most intelligent thing you've ever posted.

 

[Deestroy]

Yeah I've got a few.

Fender Strat.
Yamaha RBX775 5 string Bass.
Casino Stage Series 4 string Bass.
and a ****y Valencia TC-40 accoustic.

 

[bunsen burner]

I also wouldn't mind a Fender Jazzmeister or Fender Jaguar. No idea what they sound like but I like the shape. Classic but rare.

I used to have this Washburn electric that looked out of place if you weren't wearing spandex. Looked crap but was a good guitar and especially good for learning as the action was low all the way down the neck.

 

[melbournemartin]

who doesnt own a guitar?

Is a "Jazzmeister" a cross between a Jazzmaster and a bottle of Jagermeister?

If so, I'll have few please!

I nearly bought a Jazzmaster when I was in LA.....but ended up bringing home the Fender Champ and an old original Fuzzface pedal instead. (which I don't regret at all!)

Maybe one day I'll get one...

nup, cross between the jazzmaster and the Juddmeister. Absolutely cuts sick.
